Question to the Cabinet Office:
To ask the Minister for the Cabinet Office, how many schools have engaged with the National Citizen Service scheme in each of the last five years.
National Citizen Service (NCS) continues to see impressive year on year growth thanks, in part, to school engagement.
NCS is promoted to senior school leadership through targeted marketing and events. The programme’s local delivery partners also deliver thousands of school assemblies and involve NCS graduates as advocates for the programme. 1,886 schools engaged in NCS in 2013 increasing to 2,630 in 2014.
